The first suspect for slow dd is small block size.
So you should in any case ask dd for larger chunks as already proposed
by Michael Stone. For copying Debian ISOs to USB sticks the FAQ proposes
4 MiB. But i think 1 MiB is surely

Hi,

Not really. An old 500 GiB SATA disk may deliver about 50 MiB/s.
That's 1 seconds, a bit less than 3 hours.
(If you copy from filesystem to filesystem it may last much longer
due to the lookup times in the trees.)

I plugged the replacement into a USB port and started a byte-for-byte
copy with
dd if=/dev/sda of=/dev/sdc
The process ran quietly for almost 30 hours with no discernable results

I found that rsync does an excellent job of copying the data over. It
can be used with two machines over a network. I used a KNOPPIX CD to
boot each machine (laptops) and then copied the data over.
I should add my notes to my web pages sometime...

1.) partition the new drive as you want it
2.) for each partition of the new drive, mount the partition in
/mnt/tmp or something like that, then
cd /old-partition-mount ; tar cf - . | (cd /mnt/tmp ; tar xf -)
What does the dot do?
archive the local directory to the stdout
tar cf - . | ...
